Has there been any mention of bringing it back?It seems it would be more cost-effective than OJT in Afghanistan or Iraq. :o

K-Dog,
I can say with a certain amount of surety that no one place will train you for both A-stan and Iraq. Both countries have vastly different terrain and mission requirements. The training should be solely situational and not focus on climatic conditions. Of course for A-stan it would be a good idea to try and get some elevation exposure prior to deployment but that is not a realistic expectation.
